Canopy Light Acclimation

Canopy Light Acclimation is a physiological process in plants whereby photosynthetic machinery adjusts to spatial and temporal gradients of light intensity and quality within a canopy through coordinated changes in pigment composition, photosystem stoichiometry, and enzyme activity to optimize light utilization efficiency.
